Former Deputy Attorney-General Alfred Tuah-Yeboah has publicly condemned the National Democratic Congress (NDC) government’s decision to remove former Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo from office. Tuah-Yeboah alleges the removal was based on insufficient justification, implying a politically motivated action. He has not detailed the specific weaknesses of the grounds for removal, but asserts they were inadequate to warrant the dismissal of the Chief Justice. This criticism raises questions about the independence of the judiciary and potential political interference within the legal system. The NDC has not yet responded to Tuah-Yeboah’s accusations. The former Deputy Attorney-General’s statement adds to growing scrutiny surrounding the circumstances of Torkornoo’s departure. This development could fuel further debate regarding the balance of power between the executive and judicial branches of government.
